Self respect standing up for myself I've been screaming into a void hoping you'd hear me

Single crash - a life lesson
If you Dress for success Wear nice clothes People will talk Oh Your one of Those Putting on airs Supercilious Conceited Egotistical Know it all High and mighty Self important Attention seeker If you Dress simply People will talk You’re broke Have no money Lackadaisical Pitifully Poor If you are Successful Prosperous Thriving Flourishing People will talk Inauspicious Show off Rubbing in our face Purposely Making Us look Bad If you are Struggling Phlegmatic Unsentimental People will talk You’re Languishing Weak minded In The Wrong Place If you Speak your mind People will talk You are Superannuated Antiquated Archaic Obsolete Rude Various Opinions Willingly Conclude If you Stay Quiet Quiescent Indolent Languorous People will talk You’re sulking Brooding Pouting Self-deluding Tantrum Life is convoluted Opinions Are like Elbows Everybody Has one No matter What you Do today People Will always Have something To say Don’t let Negativity Rule the day Mind over matter Nonsense Should not have A voice A choice Useless chatter Ignorant Inconsequential Naysayers Are Irrelevant Players As long As God Is pleased With what You do And say Who cares What people Say In the Light of day Live God’s Way Inspired songs   1) it’s complicated 2002 By Avril Lavigne 2) complicated 2004 By Joss Ross

Sleuthing Through Life Convoluted People Will Talk
We live, We suffer long enough To die, Ask a man , old, Older than those streets, Who moulds memories in the footpath Of misery, 1 or a million die in his existence Still he lives, He lives In those ashes n graves And questions, Is he a boon or so unloved to be betrayed by death, His bones tremble n crack, Lifting weight of dead Dead that were ones alive To make him stop question That why he lives, Now as he narrows down His vision to embrace, He personifies His desperation to die, Be it the scarf or the pen, Or Rotting in the fen, Or bathing in the acid, Or not so happy ig placid, Be it the snakes or the worms, Or leaches in their throngs, Devouring his curse, As he crumble down his purse, He whisper to his lady, Who lives in her arcady, They will cross their paths aboon, As he still thinks, He will get his death so soon.

No Death For Oldman
Ought I not to, Lose myself in a maze And, become half-crazed In the solid mist of haze Of illusion and madness.

Exiled Delusions
I was in a trance of oblivion To think that Sol's blessing Was a bane and woe, And Night was a granted gift Bestowed upon my very soul Enlightenment reached out to me, Banishing the darkness Where I drowned in ignorance-- I ought not to surmise Virtuous or Nefarious

A Grey Verdict
Somewhere in a high castle, time stands still,   Sleeping beauty sleeps against her own will.   Certain dreams just bide their time,   In hope for a love so sublime. In her siesta so deep, many lessons speak,  In a quiet breath, in gentle sleep.   Patience is foremost as the world will turn,  At every dawn, there is a chance to learn. While she sleeps , wisdom is found,   That karma is real and everything eventually comes around.   It’s kindness that wins the day, And it's resilience that finds the way. Her patience  teaches us the  fate’s embrace, That achievements doesn't  use force but consistent grace. To trust the journey , and just let it be, And after a while you shall see. A gentle peck on her lips, a love’s true call, Awakens a desire that fears no fall. In silence a lot of dreams are spun, Boldly facing your life trials , you  know you have already won. So even when you sleep , keep alive your  dreams, For life’s not always what it seems. Make sure that new seed is sown, And through your patience, you will see  that you have grown Work hard with no  rush or strife, But with the calm knowledge of knowing life. Because Sleeping Beauty’s tale is definitely true, The lesson learnt here is that the  greatest strength lies deep within you. ©Priyanka Bhagat

Timeless truth of Sleeping Beauty
I'm learning to find my voice again To learn that I DO have a voice, and it's not so bad, and it IS worth to be heard, Too... sans pleas, sans promises, you just have to believe, I have to believe... After all these years being silenced, Muffled, Belittled, Deemed worthless, My infantile fragile shaky volatile voice, Now needs to ROAR. Hurry, we have an audience, and yet, still, other voices to compete. So help me, God. You guided me here, so please, guide me all the way...

I have realized where the difference lies One I will love for my whole life But this love is frozen time Never growing, never changing, never sprouting deeper roots A love for the one version of him that I knew A snapshot, a timestamp, however true Is not the dynamic, breathing love I have for you So while I thought I may love him for my whole life A stagnant love is a love that dies Whereas you I will fall for a thousand new times

Timestamped & True
I wish everything becomes well as it was before, I used to think that it will be evermore You can't even imagine what we're going through, We're living fake but it all looked so true They'll regret what they did, I saw everything, I wasn't a kid Near me, there's a girl, she's feeling painful, I just want you to be careful With me, with us; It's just not our luck, Teach me to be like you so I cannot give a **** Don't you know what you're doing? Whose feelings that you're hurting and bruising Be careful with me Always said that you'd be there for me Why the hell are you doing? Is it worth the boy that you're losing? Care for me, care for me When I want ya why aren't you here for me? Be careful what you're saying! 'Cause karma is here, you'll be paying Someone told me that I'm already cursed, It's gonna hurt me to hate you but loving you is worse I just hope after this life we'll never meet again, 'Cause the only thing you gave was pain.

Be Careful!
I wiped off my canvas and painted it with a blur of misty greys So when I blotted with silent tears I'd keep all that composed my days You traced in sparkling paint your truth and left yours in the rain So each day would cleanse your soul and make it art without sweat or pain

the dice
What tragedy is it to see what is coming People dying people starving no way to survive No way to eat the hangry must go on The poor must suffer it is the consequences we pay for not knowing The real virus isn't itself but humanity is the real threat We can't coexist as one blood and flesh Everyone wants war where is the peace where is the love

weathering life
I feel nothing, I am made of rubber and spice. I sway meaningless to meaningful songs, laugh without a sparkle in my eyes. I feel nothing, I talk and laugh all day, I sit and stare at night. I am this loud silence deafening the earth. I feel nothing, Violins playing in cemeteries, skeletons dancing to merry tones. I look at them with dead eyes. I feel nothing, I am numb. I am the sun and the moon. The dark and the light. I feel nothing, I am not present here. I am a forgotten corpse, mistakenly breathing and emptily alive.

the rebellion
Turned 29 yesterday, Celebrating on my own For the very first time I made arrangements for myself With balloons, songs and a yummy cake! And with all these, I realized, I can love myself too! Despite the love-hate relationship with my own self, I owe my body and soul! They have been through a lot From the self harm in every possible way To the low phases and pitfalls. And I feel grateful that I am still alive With so much more of wisdom Through the journey of life Every changing as a whole From happiness, joyfulness, escasty, And love - To the trauma's, loss, heartbreaks, failures Loneliness and depression! I am now learning to be on my own From distraction and noises all around To shifting focus to oneself! And with all of these, Now Murphy's law makes much more sense! And now With a the shifts of focus I know that somehow I can contribute to this vast world too!

THE KEY There are many keys to a door Without the keys you can't secure-keep Or open to great possibilities You're yet to reach Do your best in the present To get the key of the future Education is Key to the door of a great future The basic necessity that bridges the gap between the poor and rich I may not be rich today But with this key I will be rich someday invest wisely in education Don't let this precious gift Be a deprivation For with it we'd be Key-Leaders of the future Education- my pride: is the KEY ©LovelynEyo

up and down
Living life is like walking in a rush Bush. Somedays are made with roses and sweet fragrance, Filled with Joy and laughter. Somedays we trample over the torns, Leaving us heartbroken and sad. Most days are made up of both, Though the torns rip you There are some Roses to heal you. Roses or torns, we were made strong enough to walk on both.
